This hotel is located in a beautiful surroundings, in the lovely village of Carlingford, on the shore of the Lough, lovely for a walk along the lough shore especially on a beautiful sunny day. However, we were disappointed with the hotel, the bed room facility was very basic, my husband & I stayed for 4 nights, we were disappointed to find there was no closed door wardrobe, only an open wardrobe with hangers for hanging our clothes, no big drawers either, so we could not unpack our cases properly. We think the open wardrobe is fine if one only stays overnight or for a couple of days. The television was very small & old, the carpet could do with a good shampoo or replacement, the bed was not comfortable, the mattress was too soft. We were very disappointed with it. However, the staff were very friendly & efficient especially in the restaurant. The food was good but the main course was a little bit spoilt by too much of the same taste gravy accompanying it every dinner.

I attended a wedding at this venue a few weeks ago, although the couple in question had obviously went for a cheap deal, I wasn't expecting something outstanding. However it was shocking, when we arrived at the venue I could have sworn we were in an industrial estate, the decore was dated and again screamed cheap, our bedroom upon check in resembled a hostel. The food was average, wine like vinegar.Staff were rude and even the bride commented on how unhelpful they had been. I felt so sorry for the bride and groom who had clearly just wanted to invite as many guests as the could for as little money as they could afford but you definately get what you pay for. Terrible terrible embarassing venue!

Dear Rachel W,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we wish to address some of the points you have made. You mentioned you were unhappy with the wine, the hotel allows brides and grooms on occasion to provide their own wine at a fee, the wine was to their taste and choice.

We were recently Awarded Wedding Venue of the Year Leinster 2014 by WeddingsOnline.ie and Best Wedding Venue in Leinster by Weddingdates.ie, based on a stunning location and excellent food and service. We have went through the feedback from each wedding over the last 6 months and not one bride or groom commented negatively on the service at their wedding in fact every wedding stated that they would highly recommend the hotel.

You also marked 1 out of 5 stars for location. Our hotel is located overlooking Carlingford Lough and mountains within a 4 minute walk of a stunning village with medieval features including King John's Castle and Carlingford Abbey and beside Carlingford Lough so we are very surprised that you were also unhappy with the location.

If you wish to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact the hotel.

Kind Regards,

MajellaSales and Marketing Manager

My wife and i stayed here for a wedding this weekend and from the start the staff couldn't have made us more welcome and comfortable.

After an early morning ferry ride over we arrived at the hotel around half 7, we were greater by Jo in the restaurant and after hearing of our long journey and general tiredness she showed us to the toast, cereals and a quiet corner!

Not 90 minutes later we were found a room to book into (early) and got our well deserved rest.

The room was a little old fashioned but was exactly what we needed and wanted for no more then we received.

This hotel's staff are clearly its heart and soul and because of them our stay was absolutely perfect.

Thank You to your hotel and wonderful town.

Room Tip: Oriel room has a joint balcony which is handy if a friend is starting next door.

Stayed here a while back where the food was absolutely spectacular the accommodation was rather a let down. We didn't get to sleep all night as there was a noise of water the whole night, The pillow cases had dried blood stains on them. When I spoke to receptionist she basically stated that she would say it to laundry not impressed at all. Could have at least let me speak with a manager, it was a voucher we had received for Christmas and personally was definitely not worth the value as stated

What a dissapointemnt !! Firstly on check in we waited at an empty reception for more than 10 minutes before anyone attended to us. . Eventually a receptionist came and checked us in. Never saw that before. The room was dated and looked more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel room. It was souless.The carpet was puckered, bed tired looking, televieion so old it was hard to get stations on it. To be fair the bathroom was modern and clean. Soundproofing appears to be an issue. The walls are so thin I heard the man next door snoring loudly. Breakfast was ok. The staff mostly appeared to be very young and untrained. We stayed at this hotel for a family occasion. The choice of accomadation in Carlingfotd is very limited and for a tourist and beautiful area I find it hard to understand. We paid way over the top for 2 nights b and b. Would I stay here again? Maybe if I paid half the amount it might reflect value for money.Otherwise NEVER!!

We attended a wedding nearby so i cannot comment on the facilties of the Four Seasons however what i did experience was just okay. We checked in and as there was a wedding on there was a great buzz in the air, there was a minutes wait, average time for a check in and it was evident that the reception team was well staffed for a busy check in. Considering this day was a happy occasion you would expect the staff to share this enthuasiam but they came across disinterested, looked as though they where severly underpressure (even though 4 staff members where on hand), and we didnt recieve the warm welcome you expect on arrival. The only exchange of conversation was to ask "how we where paying" and where the room was. There was no smile, no conversation and as for been informative ..well this fell through the cracks. There was no member of breakfast times or location, an arm was pointed where we where to go for our rooms and considering the lack of enthusiam, the least a person can ask for is an "enjoy your stay". From my experience of hotels , it takes 2 minutes approx to check someone in, there is enough information, no matter how irrelvant as it makes a guest feel so much more welcome and privaleged to be in the hotel. The rooms are lovely, everything that you need and although basic, its evident housekeeping take pride in their rooms as it was spotless, even though it was an interconnecting room, there was no noise at all. Breakfast the follwing morning was nice, the food was hot so no complaints there.
